Píseň: State Of Independence

Interpret:
Jon Anderson
Album:
Change We Must
State of life, may I live, may I love
Coming out of the sky I name me a name
Coming up silver word for what it is
It is the very nature of the sound of the game


Siamese, Indonese to Tibet
Treat the life as a game if you please
Coming up Caribbean sense of freedom
Derives from a mediative state


Moving on, believe that's it
Call it magic Third World
It is, I only guessed it
Shah blam ee dee
Shah blam ee dah


Shot to the soul
The flame of Aura'ladin
The essence of the word
The state of independence


Sound like a signal from you
Bring me to meet your sound
And I will bring you to my heart


Love like a signal you call
Touching my body, my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here
Home be the temple of your heart
Home be the body of your love
Just like holy water to my lips


Yes, I do know how I survive
Yes, I do know why I'm alive
To love and be with you
Day by day by day by day


Say yea yea yea yo
Yea yea yea yo
Be the sound of higher than today


Time again it is said we will hear
We will see it all in this wisdom here
This truth will abound the land
The state of independence shall be
